The Time to be Happy - Technique Tuesday Challenge

I made another card for Technique Tuesday challenge #6 - to use words. You can find the challenge here.

The flowers were in a goody bag I got from Taylor this summer when our group visited her. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Garden Whimsy set and is stamped in Perfect Plum. The grass is a stamp from Repeat Impressions and is stamped in Certainly Celery. The matting is Perfect Plum and the buttons are from Lasting Impressions.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Heartfelt Thanks - Technique Tuesday Challenge

I made this card for Technique Tuesday's challenge for this week, which is to use stamped words on your card/project.  You can find the challenge on SplitCoastStampers in this post.

Since I use a sentiment on nearly every card I make, I wanted to use the words in some sort of a special way.  I thought of Heartfelt Thanks from Stampin' Up!  I used SU! inks, also - Rose Red, Rose Romance and Mellow Moss.  The matting cardstock is from SU! as well.  The butterflies are punched using a Martha Stewart punch.  I mounted them on pieces of Dimensionals and added pearls to their bodies.  I added a little bit of scoring around the edges.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Double Challenge Card

I made this card for this week's Clean and Simple Challenge on SplitCoastStampers.  The challenge was to use red, brown, vanilla and kraft, and optionally use orange.  It's also for Technique Tuesday's challenge (that ended yesterday) to use flowers.  These stamps really are flowers, but I guess done in the colors I used, they look more like fancy leaves!  Oh well!

All the stamps are from Papertrey Ink.  The floral images are from Spiral Bouquet and the sentiment is from Birthday Basics.  The inks are all Stampin' Up! - Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie.  The matting is Chocolate Chip and the card base is PTI Kraft.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
